Lastolite HaloCompactReflector

The HaloCompact is a 32-inch circular reflector
with silver on one side and white on the other, so
you can alternate between greater contrast or a
softer reflection. What makes the Halo unique
is its rigid frame, which Lastolite is giving the
Iron Man-esque name of RapidExoframe. The
aluminum frame can fold down in seconds into
an even smaller package than most collapsible
reflectors on the market—the fabric and frame
slip into an included case that measures just

2. 5 x 10. 5 x 2. 5 inches. The frame has a built-in
handle and a ¼-inch thread and a ¼- 20 adapter,
so you can mount it if you’re not interested in
holding it. The case has a carabiner-style clip, so
you can hang it off your camera bag if there’s no
room for it on the inside.

If you’re looking to give your DSLR or mirrorless
movies a sweeping cinematic effect, Gudsen’s
MOZA Air 2 gimbal will do the trick. Capable of
carrying up to 9. 2 pounds of camera gear, the
Air 2 boasts an impressive 16-hour battery life
that can be prolonged by plugging a power pack
into the gimbal’s USB-C port. You can also use the
Air 2 to provide power to an external monitor or
lights. The gimbal has physical controls for focus,
zoom, playback, shutter, EV and white balance.

You can customize the joystick, wheel and trigger,
too. While many gimbals require an elaborate
tuning ritual before you shoot, the Air 2 can auto-tune itself based on the total weight it’s carrying.

If you like timelapses, you can use the MOZA app
to program camera movements for time-lapse
shooting. The Air 2 has a ¼- 20 mount for use
on tripods and booms and is compatible with a
range of accessories, including dual handle bars,
a camera cage and thumb controller.
